Approved DLMS Change (ADC) 34

Materiel Receipt Acknowledgement (MRA) Management Information Report

 1. Originator:

a. Service/Agency: DLMSO.

b. Originator: Mary Jane Johnson, DLMSO, DSN 427-0677, 703-767-0677, e-mail: 

maryjane_johnson@hq.dla.mil

2. Functional Area: Supply

3. Requested Change:

a. Title: MRA Management Information Report

b. Description of Change: This administrative change transfers responsibility for the 

content of the MRA Management Information Report from the Logistics Metric Analysis 

reporting System (LMARS) to the Supply Process Review Committee. The responsibility for 

development of the report is assigned to the DAASC.

c. Procedures: Revise MILSTRAP, as amended by the Third Addendum to AMCL 11, 

as follows (changes are identified by bold italicized text):

"J. MANAGEMENT EVALUATION

1. DoD Components shall establish a management evaluation program which 

monitors and evaluates MRA submission to assure compliance with MRA requirements. 

Execute timely processing and perform response rate analyses to identify nonresponsive 

activities and initiate corrective actions.

2. The program shall provide for: 

a. Data collection to meet DoD reporting requirements established under 

CWT procedures contained in volume 5 of DLMS (reference (bb)).

a. LMARS will provide Review of the MRA Management Information 

Report. DAASC will prepare the report1 and provide access by 

electronic means. The report content is determined by the Supply PRC. 

Each MILSTRAP focal point is responsible for analysis of the report to 

identify potential deficiencies in their Service or Agency MRA operations 

or procedures contributing to breakdowns in internal controls for intransit 

wholesale stock. MILSTRAP focal points are responsible for initiating 

corrective action with delinquent and nonreporting activities. RCS [to be 

determined] applies for this reporting requirement.

b. The LMARS MRA Management Information Report shall include as a 

minimum:

(1) Documentation of Nonresponses for a reporting period to include: the 

number of qualifying shipments made to an activity (by “ship to” 

DODAAC); the number of MRA responses received from that activity; the 

number of Nonresponses.

(2) Breakdown of nonresponses by DVD and stocked shipment to include 

the number, percentage, and dollar value of each category.

(3) Report of MRAs having a discrepancy indicator; report by shipping 

activity to indicate total shipments that qualified for an MRA during the 

report period; total MRAs received with a discrepancy indicator and a 

subset to identify them by “ship to” activity.

c. The LMARS MRA Management Information Report will provide the 

capability to access information by specific categories of DoDAACs such 

as subsistence, ammunition, contractor, and Army Total Package Fielding. 

Additionally it will provide the capability to request highlight listing 

showing DoDAACs with a high number of nonresponses (for example, all 

DoDAACs with over 500 nonresponses) to assist in identifying 

organizations not complying with MRA procedures.

3. ICPs shall maintain accessible records of shipments and MRA transactions to 

support the reporting requirements." 

4. Reason for Change: The Januray 9, 1998, Third Addendum to the AMCL 11 modified the 

MRA reporting requirement to indicate that the LMARS would provide for data collection and 

furnish electronic reports. With the LMARS transformation into Customer Wait Time (CWT), 

there has been no priority placed upon developing the required reports. Transfer of 

responsibility to the Supply PRC aligns the report with the functional area responsible for the 

associated MRA procedures. 

5. Advantages and Disadvantages:

a. Advantages: 

(1) The MRA Management Information Report will provide the Components 

with a tool for monitoring and evaluating MRA submission to assure compliance with 

MRA requirements. The report will facilitate identification of nonresponsive activities so 

that corrective actions can be initiated.

(2) The report will also satisfy metrics required under the DoD Congressional 

Plan for Inventory Management of Intransit Items.

b. Disadvantages: None known. 

6. Impact: 

a. Publications: DoD 4000.25-2-M (MILSTRAP), DoD 4000.25-M (DLMS), and 

Service/Agency publications as applicable.

b. Systems: DAASC program changes to develop and produce the report as identified 

above. No known impact to Component supply systems.
